Watched Free Solo. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Beautifully shot. Am fascinated by stories of people pushing the boundaries of what is physically and mentally possible – an extraordinary feat. Mr Honnold, I salute you.

@strandlines Yeah, such an unbelievable achievement.

The Dawn Wall is another climbing documentary that I enjoyed too. It’s on Netflix and features one of climbers you see in Free Solo.

@Omrrc I’ll look out for that one as well - thanks. As someone who doesn’t really do heights that well I am in awe of those that do...

@strandlines like when the cameraman turned away because he couldn't watch? That was what I did, too, and I knew the ending!

@kitt yes, the climbing sequence in the film is maybe 10 minutes or so? And as you say , we know how it ends. So for the film crew, watching him for 3 hours plus, not knowing how it ends, must have been unbearable...
